The smallest-population debutant nation in the field has held Spain goalless and come from behind to draw with Uruguay, leaving them one win away from a fairy-tale knockout-stage berth. Standing in the way is a desperate Saudi Arabia side that was put to the sword 4-0 by Spain and now must win in Houston to keep any hope alive. Both sides know exactly what&#8217;s required, and neither can afford to sit back.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">What&#8217;s at Stake<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Cape Verde<\/strong><br \/>\nA win guarantees qualification to the knockouts on their World Cup debut \u2014 a remarkable achievement for the third-smallest nation by population ever to qualify. Even a draw could be enough if Spain beat Uruguay simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Saudi Arabia<\/strong><br \/>\nBottom of the group on a single point and a \u22124 goal difference. Only a win keeps the dream alive, and even then they&#8217;ll need results elsewhere to fall their way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Historic Stakes<\/strong><br \/>\nA Cape Verde win or favourable draw completes one of the most remarkable debut campaigns in World Cup history.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem]
